Just a 4-piece harmony I wrote out for a college class, several years ago. It is set here to sound like a celesta., which gives it much more of the surreal quality I was looking for.

The picture accompanying it was the street I used to walk down, pre-sunrise, near The Great Dismal Swamp. 

This same song was previously posted, using audio from a different notation program. I recently upgraded to a different one, and was able to rewrite it out pretty quickly. Give it a listen!

Along Somber Streets

My submission for the final assessment in a Classical Composition class for the National University of Singapore class, hosted on Coursera. A very short piece. 

Visual artwork featured is by Rafal Olbinski. You should check out more of his wonder, surreal creations!

It has been lightly edited, with new notation software and sound packages, from the track that was posted here before. Some ambient sounds from one of those packages has also been added.

Traversing Dreamscapes

A small piece, composed entirely on StaffPad.

Wanderer's Loop

This is a backing track in D major, intended for those playing bass guitar, or other bass instrument. I suppose you could get more creative than that though. The track includes a simple guitar part, and drum part. Composed on my StaffPad app.

It is in common time, with the extremely simple chord progression of
I - I - IV - V over and over and over and . . . . . .

The chords stay the same the entire time, making it an extremely easy track to follow, for those new to using tracks like this. The rhythms are the only things that change the whole time. There is only one non-chord tone in the guitar part the whole time (but that section repeats; beat 4 of measure 18).

The track starts with the first measure drums only, to give you the tempo: 1 - 2 - 3 & - 4 & 

Have fun!!!! more backing tracks to come.

D Maj. Jam Track

The exact same track as the D Major Jam Track, but in D minor.
So the only difference is the F sharps are now F naturals, and the B naturals are now B flats. The C sharps, however, are still sharp. That way, the major V chord is used, instead of the minor, as is common.

Happy jamming!

D Minor Jam Track

Harried by hypnagogic horrors.
Hoping to escape.

Welcome to Fractured Lucidity.

Your control was only an illusion.

Fractured Lucidity

To become victim of the mythical Souls' Cap Mushroom is to enter a sleep seemingly as permanent as death.

This is one of my pieces of flash fiction, with an ambient piece of music composed around it. Enjoy!

(all elements composed and recorded by D.)

Souls in Flight (a short strange fiction)

Jam track for bassists and other bass instruments.

Instead of a long description of what is is you'd be jamming with, I posted pictures of the sheet music, here:

Em Jam Track 1

This track is the looped sound of a thunderstorm, with interval bells at 3 minutes.

You have one minute to get settled before a gong rings 3 times at A440. Every 3 minutes, it will ring once, going downward, chromatically (in tempered tuning) until it rings 3 times again, at A220. This triple ending gong happens at 37 minutes, making it a 36 minute long meditation track.

This track is downloadable.
